Sunday

I always try to add a little bling to the outer wrapping of any gifts I give and, this year, I decided to make up these mini LP gift tags to add a little something to everyone's presents. I also decided that you might want to do the same, so I filmed a tutorial on the process and made all the files available to you for free at the link below. As usual, leave any questions in the comments section and I'll be glad to do my best to answer them. Good hunting!

Thanks for the comments all! I hope you enjoy making them. They're pretty fun and easy.

Jake - I'd get some glue dots and just stick the record down by its corner onto the package. You won't be able to see both sides, but at least when you remove it from the package, it won't harm the back and then the giftee can enjoy both sides.

Nice. (Photo corners would be a way to attach it where it would be easily removable. Or a needle and thread up through the middle top, back down and then tied in a little knot inside to make a hanging loop before it gets glued together - then they could be ornaments too!)

DUDE! This is seriously fantastic. I always wonder how to make my presents for my guy friends more...male...or should I say Less prissy. This is so fantastic because all the guys are either in their 40s and thus grew up with records (like me), or they are younger and finding records again through the whole indie movement. Thank you so much!

Love this idea like crazy! My husband is all about the LPs, so this will be perfect for his gift. I downloaded the files, but it seems there's something wrong with the "inner sleeve" part -- it looks like some of the image (the "holes") are missing. Maybe the files corrupted?

Awesome!!! I love your designs, and love that you added the blank template to customize. Just made one for Julia's birthday. Cianna and I were talking about how much we love your site. The tutorials are put together really well, I love the sound effects and editing on this one. Thanks for the great personal touch! Best, Megan H.

Hello!! I am thinking about making these for our wedding to use as table cards, my fiancee and I love music expecially classic rock! I want to make each table named after one of our favorite rock bands and the people sitting there will have that album with their names on it! I am having trouble pasting jpg files onto the blank template, what do you suggest using to do this? Adobe isn't working for me or I just don't know how to do it!Thanks Angela.

Paul,These are fantastic! I'm having a post-holiday blues party and these would be terrific. I'll be sure to credit Dudecraft. I don't have photoshop (and have never used it). Is there a way to copy images onto the template without photoshop?
